Well I do not believe in zodiac signs and their predictions. I am a Scorpio and it is said that Scorpios may be quiet but are like a slow poison. They sting when they get the opportunity.

But in reality I am nothing like that.
As for predictions I would hold on to a positive prediction and discard a negative one. I believe the future is what you make of it. If you think and say negative things then your life goes in a negative direction but if you think and say positive things your life goes in a positive direction.

Let's look at things this way,if you get a negative prediction does it mean that it must happen that way? So whose fault would that be? Yours?

I have a cousin who had a funny behaviour while growing up. and his family never thought of him as promising. They gave up on him based on what they saw at that time and predicted that he would be nonentity.
Along the line he picked up his life back and today he is so well placed that all his family members now depend on him. He is now the one they look up to.

This also reminds me of a book I read by a man called Ola Rotimi. In the story a Yoruba king had a baby boy that was to be his successor and the usual thing according to the Yoruba tradition then was to bring in a soothsayer to fortell future of the child. When the soothsayer did he said: the child has a bad destiny because in future he will kill his father and marry his mother. The child was to be killed.

The soldier who went to kill him was not able to kill and innocent child. And so he abandoned the child who was latter raised by a merciful stranger from a neighbouring village. The child grew up knowing nothing about his roots.

When he had become a man, one day he went out to farm and met a man who he killed not knowing he was a king because he was not guarded. However he killed him out of anger for raining abuses on his tribe not knowing it was his father.

As time went on, the next village whose king he killed were under siege from another village who decided to attack at the time they had not crowned a king. So he joined the war to help them since he felt guilty for killing their king, even though they never knew he was their kings killer. He fought a great fight that led that village to victory. The only way they could repay him was to make him their King.

According to their tradition a new king inherits all that belongs to the former king including his wives. That was how the prediction finally came true. They made a move to stop it but it only led to the fulfillment of it.

I think that if the child had grown up in the palace he would have known his mother and his father and such a thing would have been averted, but they chose to fear the prediction. So it was not the child's fault. So for me the future is not specifically predictable except by God. And God does not choose for us,we make our choices ourselves.
